Create Star Light Trails with Photoshop!

In this tutorial, we will use Adobe Photoshop to create star trails from a single photo. We are going to use a seldom used "Duplicate Transform" trick to quickly create streaking stars and trails of light that drift across the sky. We will tackle some of the pit falls you may encounter along the way and learn to fix drifting and dragging pixels, streaky lights, objects in the sky, cloning and healing with Photoshop, Content-Aware Fill in Photoshop, as well as some light blending to help pull the entire image together in the end. If you want to learn to create star light trails in Photoshop, this is the tutorial for you!
